DO NOT

by any means think that I am getting "Cutesy" or "Kitcheny". Not happening. I just could not resist this very easy idea. WAY big hit! The "owl" in me just couldn't resist I guess, for all you Chi Omega fans out there!

Castle Park

Over in Kaysville on Nichol's Drive is an amazing place known as Castle Park. Kate and Johnny spent a little time with Gramma this last UEA weekend, and we spent a very fun afternoon over there. We also colored, played Candyland, did puzzles, jumped on the tramp (with Maddie), watered pansies, ate popcorn, and fell asleep watching movies.

"Delighted"---Quilted Fish--Riley Blake

Jenn and I were invited to a "fabric show". My first one ever! I didn't even know such events took place. We went out to Noah's in South Salt Lake which is a great venue for such a party. We saw everything you could imagine made out of fabric. Dollhouses, guitars, banners, and even some beautiful quilts. My cute cousin, Patty's daughter Jana, knows someone that designs for Riley Blake. Riley Blake happens to be a very cute fabric line. So we got to meet Jana, which was awesome in and of itself. We received these cute little swatches as favors. The fabric was gorgeous! "Delighted" is the name of the line. I am sure that I feel a project coming on. I will keep you posted. Anyway, we really had a ball! Thanks, Patty and Jana!!

MAGNET BOARDS

I haven't been busy blogging, but I have been busy!! This was a lot bigger job than I ever expected. Even though it is VERY active, I think I like the idea of all of these smiling faces on the wall as I sit here at the computer. We'll see if I get used to it. Organizing "our old office" into "our new office" was a lot bigger physical and emotional drain than I ever expected, but I think we are happy with how it all came together.

Happy Birthday Gramma Llama!
